Drunken drivers

"Reading your front page paper, 'German brewers pay a visit to Verboten Brewing.' In Loveland if we're having all these microbreweries and everyone is making beer and wine and all this stuff, I pray to God that our Loveland Police Department are doing their job and pulling people over for DUIs because one beer and you're over the legal limit. I think to generate more revenue they better be on the ball and pulling people over. ..."

School board

"I want to thank the school board for the 7-O vote on the MOU between the school district and the teacher's association. It is one of the most vital decisions you will make this year. I was impressed."

Fracking

"Regarding the fracking forum. In order to get a balanced view of fracking, I think we need to have presentations by physicians, public health experts and air and water quality control, not just representatives from Anadarko."

"BJ Nikkel says her group is out to educate the public. Thanks so much but the only answer I want from the hydraulic fracturing proponents is one they always refuse to answer. What kind of chemicals are you injecting into the ground and aquifers to accomplish the process? Please educate us on that topic."

"Why am I not surprised that all the Republican City Council members chose a June 24 primary election date for the fracking moratorium vote and disregarded the fact that only Republicans have competitive primary ballots on that date. This is a blatant attempt to rig the vote for the oil companies by suppressing Democratic and unaffiliated votes."

Easter

"As I ponder the cross of Jesus — why he came and why he died — it is both sad and an indictment of human nature that after living on this planet for thousands of years, we still have not learned to live in peace and harmony with each other."

Crossword puzzles

"Regarding the crossword puzzles; I agree with the callers who remark that they are too easy. I wish they could be like the sudokus; progressively more difficult each day."

"Here's my suggestion: cut out the answer square, put it down on the counter, take the questionnaire part, put it in a clipboard, duct tape it to the back of your head and then look in the mirror. That should take a little bit of time for you agitated people."

Fuel

"This is about diesel costs. Somebody in the EPA decided that 75 parts per million of sulphur was too much and had to reduce it to 15 parts per million which drove up the cost of diesel up higher than gasoline. And guess what? Now they're trying to do the same thing to gas."
